I couldn’t have asked for a better first whale shark experience
I was quite nervous before the tour and, to be honest, even a little scared about swimming so close to a whale shark. But the reality was completely different from what I imagined. The crew was amazing and made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. The girls were always checking on everyone, making sure we felt safe, confident, and ready to enjoy the experience. Their kindness and positive attitude made such a difference. The whale sharks themselves are incredibly calm and peaceful animals. Once I got in the water, all my nerves disappeared. You can swim alongside them comfortably and just enjoy the moment. It was an absolutely incredible experience, and we had plenty of opportunities to swim with them throughout the day. The equipment was in excellent condition, including the fins, snorkels, and wetsuits. The boat was also very well maintained, and the captain was fantastic. Everything was organized, professional, and punctual. I couldn’t have asked for a better first whale shark experience. Thank you to the whole team for making it so special! 🐋💙
This was such an amazing day!!
This was such an amazing day!! The crew were so lovely, always checking up on us and making us feel comfortable. The skipper was great as well, spotting all the marine life along the way to make sure no one missed anything. Swimming with the whale sharks was an absolute dream! I can’t recommend it enough and definitely do it with these guys. From getting picked up/dropped off, 5+ seperate swims with the whale sharks, professional photos and being well-fed all day; these guys are awesome. Had great knowledge of exmouth and whale sharks too. Seriously made the day as smooth and easy as possible. As someone who came from the Gold Coast specifically for this, i’d spend the money to do it all over again!
What you can expect
Get set for a full-day whale shark, wildlife and whale adventure on Ningaloo Reef, just off Exmouth. From September to late November, you’ll hit the water for epic snorkelling among vibrant marine life, with the chance to swim alongside whale sharks, manta rays and other wildlife when sightings and conditions allow. Keep watch for humpback whales as you explore one of Western Australia’s most spectacular marine playgrounds.
Cruise in comfort aboard a state-of-the-art 65-foot, two-storey vessel, with easy water access from the marlin board and plenty of space to spot wildlife from the upper deck. Dive in, dry off, soak up the sun and take in the wild Ningaloo views between swims.

Amazing day out with the Ningaloo Blue crew
Amazing day out with the Ningaloo Blue crew. Swam 4 times with 2 different whale sharks, saw mum and baby humpbacks and had hundreds of spinner dolphins playing in the boats wash for at least 20mins. It was one of the most incredible days. I would definitely book through ningaloo blue again.
